Analog "God's (and Dinosaurs )" please report

Now that we have fallin to the pressure of the masses and purchased a 2" analog machine, I would like to ask for all of the little "Tips and Tricks" that everyone uses for tracking to analog tape. It has been many years (late 70's early 80's on eight track) since I used analog tape. (The lost years were spent in rehab :D ) and the last five or so have been using digital.

firewire...and SCSI

well this was originally was a question dealing with a PCI-to-Firewire card, but i got to thinking. if i'm not mistaken, the PCI slot has a transfer rate of 133 or so Mb per second for each slot. i thought i saw a company that advertised firewire PCI card for PC's, advertised with a xfer rate of 400Mb/sec. how can this be? the PCI would bottleneck this to 133, correct?

in response to Aaron

If you would like to use more then one R.Ed. unit in a system (I.E. 2 R.Ed.s for 64 trcks, etc)and would like to mix with the R.Ed. mix/software. Unless you have 2 Mixpanders (1 per unit)

you will have to make a physical connection between the the 2 in order to have a common bus the travels between them.

Does that answer you q, mate? any others? :)
